Presents an interesting case -
64 year male CLD NASH induced presented with hemetemesis. Third episode in last few months . Upper g I scopy done at periphery Aadicura speciality clinic showed large Fundic varix with stigmata of haemorrhage . After few days he came to hospital for definitive work up.
16 ml feeder to a 8 ml fundus varix
Patient counselled for options
1- BRTO 2- surgery 3- EUS coil plus glue.
Finally after admission
EUS coiling using 35 mm two coils and n butyl cyanoacrylate glue.
Principle - the coil prevents glue to embolism when in such a large varix we would otherwise need a large volume of glue. Coil acts a scaffold over which glue forms a polymer and the combination acts as a plug.

Comments

EUS guided vascular endotherapy - coil plus glue
Opens a new vista to manage vascular challenges including aneurysms in arteries (gda, splenic etc)and fundus varices.
